The Community-Service Learning Program
Through the Community Service-Learning Program, students receive an additional credit linked to a regular three or four credit course in exchange for completing 40 hours of service work relavent to the course's subject. The main requirement is that the project carried out by students meets both the organization's needs and the learning objectives of the course.
If a student is interested in the program, he/she should stop by the Community Service Center to discuss possible site placements and complete the Participation Agreement required for all CSLP participants. After the 40 hours are completed, the student receives a pass/fail credit added on to their regular course. Completion of the program is also based upon:
- a completed assignment given by your professor
- attending an evaluation and reflection session with the Community Service Center to assess your experience
- a completed hour log signed by your supervisor at the nonprofit organization
CSLP is ideal for a student who:
- is an undergraduate student currently registered for less than 17 credits.
- is looking for ways to increase familiarity with community issues and organizations.
- wants to develop hands-on experience within his/her academic field.
- would like community-based learning activities reflected on his/her resume.
